will now include both prose and poetry, including selections from Julius Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War. The new required reading list, including revisions to the number of lines required from the Aeneid, is: Vergil's Aeneid Book 1: Lines 1–209, 418–440, 494–578 Book 2: Lines 40–56, 201–249, 268–297, 559–620 Book 4: Lines 160–218, 259–361, 659–705 Book 6: Lines 295–332, 384–425, 450–476, 847–899 Caesar's Gallic War Book 1: Chapters 1–7 Book 4: Chapters 24–35 and the first sentence of Chapter 36 (Eodem die legati [. . . ] venerunt.) Book 5: Chapters 24–48 Book 6: Chapters 13–20 Also, there is a change to the required readings in English. The new list from the Aeneid is books 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12, instead of all twelve books, as was previously required. The new required reading list in English from the Gallic War is books 1, 6, and 7. Also in the revised curriculum there is also a newly placed emphasis on sight reading. The College Board announced that the exam will include Latin passages not on the required readings lists in an effort to enhance students' ability to read at sight. Recommended authors for prose include (inexhaustibly): Nepos, Cicero (though not his letters), Livy, Pliny the Younger, and Seneca the Younger, rather than authors such as Tacitus or Sallust. For poetry, recommended authors (inexhaustibly) include: Ovid, Martial, Tibullus, and Catullus, rather than poets such as Horace, Juvenal, or Lucan. For practice with sight reading in both poetry and prose, the College Board recommends additional Latin passages in the Aeneid and Gallic War that are not included in the required reading list. The free-response section includes translation, analysis, and interpretation of the Latin text from the syllabus. The format is as follows: Question 1: 15-minute translation: Vergil Question 2: 15-minute translation: Caesar Question 3: 45-minute analytical essay Question 4: 15-minute short answers: Vergil Question 5: 15-minute short answers: Caesar Grade distribution In the 2010 administration, 6,523 students took the exam, and 4,114 passed (3 or higher), or about 63.1%.
